I can breathe in solder fumes without feeling ill but certain printers generate something that cause me to feel very bad immediately. Two printers that I definately have this problem with is the NEC S60P laser printer and the IBM 6750 typewriter (uses some special non-impact dot matrix printhead). I can feel a little when the NEC S60P is idling but when printing I must go out of the room and I cannot return until the printing has stopped and the room has been ventilated. The IBM typewriter is no problem when idling, and only a little problem when using it manually. When I drive it from the computer to print continously I feel bad. The feeling I get is like a metal-taste in my mouth and some 'pressure' in my lungs (spelling ??). Any idea what causes this ?? Is it dangerous for me ?? For other people that doesn't feel it ??
